Taking it way back with these primitive/cave painting inspired tattoos. I am so excited for this sheet. More than ever we all need to connect to the earth and realize we all originate from the same place. We need less separation and individualism and more unity and connection. I hear this drum beating deep in my soul and I know this is our(all humans) ancestors calling out. This sheet is made with them in mind. Can you tell the eclipse inspired me as well? 😂 These will be available on the flash day this Saturday. These will not be the only flash tattoos that I’ll have available. I’ll post more leading up to the day and I may even have some at the studio day of that I don’t show on here. Come out on Saturday and get a tattoo and meet the crew. Hope to see you there.

A healed best boy tattoo. I did repack the black in the diamond for that really good contrast. Pet portrait tattoos are so satisfying. Always keep in mind that healed tattoos are more important than a fresh tattoo. Thank you again to all of the clients who trust me with their sentimental tattoos!

Neck tattoos can be a bold and visible form of self-expression, but it’s essential to consider their potential impact on professional opportunities and societal perceptions. They also are known to make you feel like a badass and increase your level of self confidence. Emily agrees with the latter.🤘🏼

Custom tattoo of crossed fingers with a little bee. His nickname is B and his mother’s name means oath from God. This is the symbolic result of the two. Thanks again my friend.

I call this the reverse X-ray. We added another tattoo to this arm we have been working on for a while now. Thank you sir for always trusting me with your tattoos.

Olive branch to complement the white script tattoo we did 3 years ago.Olive branch tattoo for this wonderful soul. From a natural flowing watercourse to the salty water that covers a large part of the surface of the earth. This platform is complicit to the wicked things happening in life. Never forget that. Sensor* that zuckersh*t.

This custom fineline realistic tattoo features an Apollo astronaut and shuttle that celebrates our endless curiosity and quest for discovery. We made sure to include some stars and a distant Saturn like planet. Did you know? The Apollo 11 mission, which first landed humans on the moon, used a computer less powerful than today’s smartphones!

Freehand finger tattoos for my homie. The flower on the hand is by me and a few years old, while the date is not and neither is the N above the thumb. These hand and finger tattoos are representations of symbols used in music. I always feel lucky to hang out and catch up with you when you visit Michigan. Thank you again for all the conversations and laughs over the years. Can’t wait till next time! Books open this Saturday!

These are some of the smaller/Fineline tattoos I’ve done recently. Fine line tattoos do not inherently have a bad reputation, but there are certain factors that can contribute to negative perceptions in some cases:

1. **Fading**: Fine line tattoos may have a reputation for fading more quickly than bolder, traditional tattoos. This can be due to several factors, including the use of lighter ink colors, less saturation, and the intricacy of the design, which may cause the lines to blur over time.

2. **Skill Variation**: Creating fine line tattoos requires a high level of skill and precision from the tattoo artist. If an artist lacks experience or expertise in this style, the tattoo may not turn out as expected, leading to disappointment and negative reviews. Usually artists who are new to this style contribute to the negativity surrounding these pieces.

3. **Healing Issues**: Due to the delicate nature of fine line tattoos, they may be more prone to healing issues such as ink fallout, blowouts, or uneven healing. These issues can affect the final appearance of the tattoo and contribute to negative perceptions.

4. **Misinterpretation of Designs**: Fine line tattoos often feature intricate designs with subtle details. If these details are not executed clearly or if the design is too complex for the size of the tattoo, it can lead to confusion or misinterpretation of the intended meaning, resulting in dissatisfaction.

5. **Limited Visibility**: Fine line tattoos, especially those with very thin lines, may be more prone to blending into the skin over time, particularly in areas prone to sun exposure. This can result in the tattoo becoming less visible or losing its clarity, which may contribute to negative perceptions of the style.

Overall, while fine line tattoos can be stunning when executed by skilled artists with proper care and maintenance, issues such as fading, skill variation, and healing issues can sometimes lead to a negative reputation for this style. An analogy to explain this further would be regarding traditional tattoos as inherently bad by using amateur work to classify and rate the whole style.

Some small but meaningful tattoos for my very close friends who lost their brother. May God rest his soul and ease your families pain. Love you both dearly.

Happy 313 day! Had a wonderful day with my wonderful friend We added a new Polaroid that depicts the view of the GM renaissance building from the view of the street right outside the Detroit Studio. Did you know Detroit is the only major city in the United States that lies on the border between two countries, with Canada situated just across the Detroit River. The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and the Ambassador Bridge connect Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, making it an important international gateway. We absolutely love Detroit. Do you?

Medusa bust tattoo. The best-known story of Medusa comes from the Roman poet Ovid. Medusa was seduced by Neptune (Poseidon) in a temple to Minerva (Athena), and in revenge, Minerva turned Medusa’s beautiful head of hair into snakes. As she was both mortal and had the ability to turn men to stone, Perseus was sent to cut off her head.

Grogu, known as baby yoda, from The Mandalorian. Because I’m a fan of Star Wars, this was such a fun tattoo for me. If you haven’t watched you definitely should get to it.

I love this tattoo so much. Buddha eyes, also known as Wisdom Eyes or Nepali Eyes, are a symbol commonly found in Buddhist iconography. They typically appear on stupas, temples, and other religious artifacts. These eyes represent the all-seeing wisdom and compassion of the Buddha. They are often depicted as stylized, elongated eyes with a third eye in the center, symbolizing the Buddha’s ability to see beyond the physical world and perceive the truth. We also made 9 sets of the eyes to represent the 9 levels of consciousness. The first five of the nine consciousnesses are related directly to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. The sixth, called mind-consciousness, integrates the information from the five senses and processes how we perceive our surroundings.

They are often associated with femininity, grace, and strength, making them a popular choice for tattoos and floral arrangements.

Recently added this script tattoo on the neck for this gem of a human. Are neck tattoos finally out of the taboo realm?

There’s so much to this tattoo that I can tell you about, but I’m much more interested in hearing all of your interpretations of it. Don’t forget to turn it around and see how it looks from their perspective. Swipe for a closer look and the inverted image. Do you love the pepper shaded tattoos?

This golden retriever was such a good boy, that he’ll be carried everywhere his owner goes forever. Memorial pet portrait tattoos always get me right in the feels. Thank you for trusting me with your sentimental ink. Would you get your pet immortalized on you?

The tattoo speaks for itself. We reflected it so that it applies to both the viewer and wearer. I find so many people nowadays want to get a tattoo but hesitate because so many other people already have something similar. I say, do what pleases you. It doesn’t matter that something is popular… if you like it, that should be enough. Meaning has always been interesting to me in the sense that it comes from within us, not from outside of us. It’s debatable whether anything has meaning at all in the first place. Something sentimental to you, might be trash to somebody else. So get the tattoo, even if it’s just because you like it.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Embrace eternal bonds with a tiny heart tattoo. Would you get a tattoo like this?
